The Heroic Handyman, LLC

The Heroic Handyman, LLC runs out of Stoneham as a husband-and-wife shop — Michael Dattilo does the on-site work and Alycia runs the back end, per the company's own site — taking on the jobs a bigger contractor won't: furniture assembly, TV mounts, deck and wood-rot repair, tile and drywall patching, general home maintenance across the towns north of Boston. Every review on file is five stars, and Thumbtack's own count backs it up: 22 ratings, 100% five-star, with 40 projects shown. The specifics repeat a theme of speed and follow-through. An April 2024 review described a rotted wood deck ramp Michael rebuilt well enough that the customer's neighbors commented on it; another from the same month recalled seven pieces of furniture assembled in five hours on a Saturday morning. A late-2023 review credited him with hanging fixtures, anchoring furniture, assembling a bookshelf, and patching grout in one visit, and said the family would use him again. BuildZoom, which has no reviews of its own for this business, still gives it a builder score of 90. There isn't much to flag. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#211661) is verified active, and Thumbtack shows a completed background check on Michael Dattilo and a Top Pro 2024 badge. Only five review write-ups are visible here against Thumbtack's 22 ratings, so the fuller record lives on the platform itself. Worth calling for the smaller fix-it jobs — assembly, mounting, deck or drywall repair — particularly for homeowners in the self-reported service area running from Melrose and Malden up through Danvers, Beverly and Gloucester.
